The chickpeas in this tasty salad are full of protein, fiber, B vitamins, and iron, and the dressing and oil provide healthy fat. Meanwhile, the leafy greens and spices offer an assortment of anticancer nutrients. To add more calories to this salad, drizzle on a bit more dressing and add sliced avocado.

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¾ teaspoon sea salt, divided

¼ teaspoon cayenne

¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon avocado oil or other high-smoke-point oil, divided

1½ cups cooked chickpeas, or 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and thoroughly dried

1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced

6 ounces fresh spring greens or mesclun mix

¼ cup Honey Mustard Dressing

1.

In a large bowl, combine the paprika, cumin, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne.

2.

In a Dutch oven, heat ¾ cup of oil over high heat until shimmering. Add the chickpeas, partially cover to prevent splattering, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are a deep golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.

3.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chickpeas to a paper towel–lined plate and let them drain briefly. Toss the chickpeas in the bowl with the spices.

4.

To caramelize the onion, adjust the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5.

Toss the onion with the 1 tablespoon of oil and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and spread on the baking sheet. Broil the onion until its edges are charred, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.

6.

Let the onion cool slightly, then add to the bowl along with the salad greens. Drizzle the dressing over and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

PREP AHEAD TIP: You can make the spiced chickpeas ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (they also make a great snack).
